This is mainly because of the bevel of the openmoko, but also because the letters on the right side of the app are soooo small

Maybe there should be an alternate way to browse contacts, or simply enlarge the index font

While using my GTA02 + qtmoko v39 the screen corrupted like in the photo and my phone became unresponsive.
The problem appeaed 3-4 times in 10 days of daily use of my freerunner as a main phone. Battery was above average charged.

A clue is to remove /home/root/Settings/Trolltech/PhoneProfile.conf (with planemode = true in it)
an to restart.

Keyboard layout should be qwerty by default when searching for contact to send sms to, not numeric. Switching layout when sending sms to contact each time can get quite tedious

For some reason, my incoming sms limit was reached (qtmoko stores on phone, not on sim, correct?) and the only way I seem to be able to wipe them from my sim card is to restart my freerunner multiple times until qtmoko retrieves and erases them from the sim.

I think
A) The sms retrieval method should be perfected (so that every incoming sms be removed from sim card)
B) If that should fail, there should be some function which could wipe the sim card, removing all sms from it

I had today a strange situation, where I could not issue outbound calls: after composing the number, the connection got closed immediately without any explanation. Switching the phone off, and even removing the battery did not help. Then I transplanted the SIM back to my old phone, checked it worked, transplanted it back again to the gta02, and then it worked.
Any idea of something to do to get more info when that occurs again ?

That leaves those services open to attack from any net connection. It may make sense for some people to allow ssh connections on any interface, though I'm not sure and we may prefer to use a safe default setting and only listen on 192.168.0.202 there. I have not investigated qdsync for now, but it also sounds like something we only want to activate on the USBnet only.

When tapping the year in the date setting dialog, I get arrows at left and right of the date, but that widget is much larger than the date display, while the displayed month does notmove. The result is, the "up" arrow on the right of the year is drawn over the "right" arrow, which is not nice, and even not easy to see under some circumstance.

When hitting a build error, correcting it and rerunning make, it looks like a whole bunch of files are recompiled without being impacted by the change - that even happens when no change was done. This slows down development like hell.

Forthe record, configure flags used are "-device neo -qvfb -debug -no-clean", on current debian/testing amd64

This is obviously linked to one the problems listed in #44: sdk/qtopiacore/target/ periodically gets nuked, and there cannot be any sane reason for that.

Using mediarecorder I cannot get any sound to be recorded. After playing with the mixer settings IIRC I could get past "getting empty wav files" situation (with time staying as 0:00 when requesting recording), and could get wav files with a duration, but no sound in them.

Then after googling I had a try at using the state file at http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/attachment/ticket/2477/working.state, and I'm now back the the "getting empty wav files" situation.

Playing a bit with "diff" I could determine that setting the 'Handset Mic Switch' flag to "true" is what allows to get the device unstuck. Similarly, "arecord -t wav -d 5 /tmp/mon.wav" would block when the flag is false and record 0x80's when the flag is true.

Any idea what other settings to fiddle with ?

After answering a call while in the middle of a mindbreaker game, I'm left with a brand new game when the call is finished

For various reasons one can want to control where a contact data lives (SIM or sqlite), but:

• the information does not seem available from addressbook
• I can't find how to transfer contacts from the SIM (usecase: mass-import from old carrier's SIM)
• I don't see either how to send selected contacts to SIM (usecase: go abroad with an old dumb phone and keep the smartphone safe)

Cell phone carrier: Orange ("Partner") Israel

Most service/company numbers begin with an asterisk/*, such as *8787 and *6900

When trying to call these numbers via dialer, there is an automatic hangup without hearing any ringing beforehand

Multimedia/Pictures wont show added images (in ~/Documents/image/png/)
but only after reboot or restarting qt extending.
But even then if i click on a thumbnail i wont see my png image fullscreen.

After changing carrier, and trying to transfer contents of old SIM, I did several SIM swapping, which result in new copies of old SMS from my old SIM being imported, signalled as "new". They are apparently not identified as previously-imported.

When I change SIM or SDCARD it often occurs that the time gets lost, and I'm thrown back to January 1st, 2000. It gets rapidly annoying to get events timestamped at that date to remind me to take action, whereas my old nokia prompts me on powerup in such a situation.

I suppose we can assume that if year==2000 the user can be proposed to set time/date.

Presence of qtopiacore/qt/src/corelib/global/qconfig-qpe.h after build makes life uneasy

Sometimes one could want to use qtmoko without starting phone apps, but if a SIM card is inserted, I do not have the option of not attempting to unlock it. This is currently my old SIM, which cannot be used for phoning, just to access old contacts - but qtmoko insists on draining my batteries :(

Similarly, I did not find an option to turn off the GSM hardware, like we have for other wireless devices.

A GUI to rapidly configure/tune iptables would be great, together with a secure default setup. The best option is surely to rely on one of the existing firewall builders, and provide some GUI config screens. Eg, "allow port XXX from host X.Y.Z.T".

Regarding gsm calls, idle suspend is bypassed only when call is connected (i.e. both parties can speak and hear one another)

This has two major downsides:

1. If call recipient answers after idle time runs out, phone will suspend mid-call. If power button is pressed, phone resumes and call remains intact
2. Cannot leave voice mail, unless time before voice-mail-beep+length of message does not exceed suspend idle time limit

Sloppy workaround: Turn off/increase suspend idle time before placing calls

Solution: Bypass idle suspend when placing the call, i.e. when phone starts ringing

For some reason, when I select a new date and tap the green arrow, the selected date is now ignored. It used to work not so long ago...

GTA02 + qtmoko v39.

First book ok. Then in third reboot i get the 'no network' in the home screen.

Deleting the bottom-most record in the list from the mediarecorder UI causes it to freeze after removing the file. I have to kill the process (eg. from task manager) and restart it, and there the file has disappeared. I can always delete any file that is not the bottom-most in the list.

When scanning for phones, the car does find my gta02, and when I select it I have a screen telling me a PIN to enter into my phone, very hard to read because it is immediately replaced by a failure screen. During this time, nothing appears on the neo screen, where it should have been asking me for the PIN.

Nothing obvious in the logs either.

Minor annoyance :)

With my "translation" branch on github based on d05ac73 (which does build for the device), the qvfb build fails with:

Project (/src/tools/qt/qvfb) WARNING: Skin ficgta01.skin exists in multiple locations:

make: *** [all] Aborted

bin/runqtopia does launch qvfb with the gta01 skin, but then most text gets displayed as empty squares, just as if font glyphs were not to be found. However, no error message appears, and the logs are empty.

I note that after "configure && make && make sdk" there are still more (ttf, presumaby "source") fonts in sdk/qtopiacore/target/lib/fonts than (qpf2, presumably generated fromt he latter) in image/lib/fonts.

But running "qbuild image" I notice that they are indeed copied from qtmoko/dist/fonts and not generated from the ttf. That looks like a problem in the build procedure, as there is no need to keep a compiled font in git, right ?

I find also disturbing that there are no qpf2 fonts on the device, whereas there are ttf fonts there.

Note in "/etc/navit/navit.xml": "Do not edit /usr/share/navit/navit.xml : changes would be lost on upgrade. Rather copy it to ~/.navit/"

But setting up Navit als QTmoko-Plugin has overwritten my Version "/home/root/.navit/navit.xml" which is equal to "~/.navit/navit.xml".

Consider an other path for shipping the default-Version of the Configuration, which dont overwrite user-settings.

After update to v35, SD card started to work unreliably. Sometimes after fresh reboot there is no /dev/mmcblk0* devices. Even if devices exist - after one or few suspend/resume cycles they stop working (can't mount/unmount SDcard partitions, can't edit partition table and so on). Reboot helps (sometimes need to reboot more than once, probably taking battery out). Checked this SDcard on laptop - sems ok. Had no SDcard related problems using earlyer releases.

Hi,

I've installed the Debian "locales" package and configured it with "fr_FR.UTF-8" to have localisation with Navit. But restarting qtextended started showing huge fonts which make the phone unusable.
Removing the "locales" package and rebooting bring the standard fonts back.

Is there a known proper way to configure the "locales" package to avoid this problem?

Thanks in advance.

When I activate syslog, I get asked (in french) to hit "yes" for temporary startup (does that mean "until next reboot" ?), and "no" for "all the time". That sounds awkward in itself, a question like "start permanently (yes/no) ?" would be more friendly.

Anyway, selecting "no", next time I enter the log program I'm told that syslog does not run. If I select "yes", then I do seem to get logs. However, I have to exit and re-enter the logfile app to get the logs really displayed after activation.

A slightly-related item that you may want to address at the same time, is that in the logfile app, when opening the menu the green arrow is (asusual) hidden, but when the menu is closed by clicking on the icon again the arrow does not reappear. Tapping where the arrow should be does close the app, but when coming back I have new log line saying: Qtopia: >>> NO help exists for "logging"

It would be a nice feature to have the option to automatically go to homescreen after call disconnect. That way, there would be less chance of activating something when in pocket, purse, etc.

in Opt.pm::validate(), value for option "skin" is undef here, and the code happily acts as if it had a sane value:

$ sdk/bin/runqtopia
Use of uninitialized value $word in concatenation (.) or string at sdk/bin/../src/build/bin/Qtopia/Opt.pm line 555.
ERROR: Invalid value for option "skin":
Valid values:
The default value for skin is invalid! at sdk/bin/../src/build/bin/Qtopia/Opt.pm line 252.

1. the code telling that option "skin" is "available" must be wrong
2. something prevents it to find sdk/src/tools/qt/qvfb/ficgta01.skin which is just there

That's many issues, but I don't think opening many issues in the tracker will help :)

• I hate it each time (after a reboot) when I ask for the keyboard and ot decides to turn my screen to landscape mode.
  It would be much more friendly to have auto orientation switch based on sensors (not having them is so "last century" anyway...).
• that default keyboard is too large, even in landscape mode: it is truncated in the middle of the "i" in "Shift", that makes it unusable in addition to be unfriendly :}
• the UI change that only say "change keyboard" in the menu in the place where there is usually a "keyboard" submenu is disturbing. OK it seems to happen when we can tap the title bar to make the keyboard appear, but that is not obvious to start with, the icon to do that has several incarnations (what for ?), and the hard-to-tap dropdown menu next to it that allows to change layout directly is what we should have in the "keyboard" menu to start with, instead ot the "next layout" thing that drives me mad each time I see it
• 2 layout names are translated identically in french, I'll see it I can find where those translations live
• it is not possible to get a keyboard in a date field (eg. in "set date" dialog)

I note that NeronGPS does not set the HTTP User-Agent header. At least Google Maps and Virtual Earth reject requests that are missing the User-Agent header. Could you add a user-agent option to the per-server settings and the global settings, with the default being NeronGPS without a version number? The upstream maintainer is no longer supporting the QtMoko version of NeronGPS, so I'm hoping the QtMoko folks can fix this.

I had a notice about an unrecoverable sqlite. I understand that afterwards I don't have any contacts/sim/whatever personal records available any more.
